Red Sox acquired RHP Ryan Cook from the Athletics for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Advice: The 28-year-old right-hander and former closer of the Athletics has spent the majority of the 2014 season at Triple-A Nashville where he has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 26/14 K/BB ratio over 33 1/3 innings. He's a nice low-cost gamble for the Red Sox.

Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have acquired Ryan Cook from the Athletics.

Advice: They're sending cash to the A's. Cook has spent almost all season at Triple-A, posting a 4.05 ERA. The A's likely would have non-tendered him this winter, so they decided to pick up a little cash for him now.
